Invincible VS broke my heart a little. Everything is kind of half-baked. Even though the complex 3v3 system with all the groups and subgroups encourages a lot of tactical planning, unfortunately, most players don't even discover it because it's hard to get to.

Mina offers everything that a 2D Zelda fan could ask for. Interesting bosses, secrets galore, and goals you can tackle in any order. If it weren't for a few unintuitive mechanics, the game would be basically perfect.

Despite its cute art style, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is an entertaining action-adventure game that will keep players entertained for hours, even with its simpler combat system, occasionally clunky controls, and a somewhat annoying number of bugs. Thanks to its amazingly crafted levels, rich open world, and great story, the game can proudly stand alongside the successful Batman: Arkham series. And it can certainly be considered one of the best LEGO games.

007 First Light could easily have stumbled in many ways. It could have offered a dull story, failed to portray James Bond as a charismatic spy, or been nothing more than a reskin of Hitman, with little thought given to what makes Agent 007 so iconic. Fortunately, none of that happens. The result is a beautiful-looking, well-sounded, superbly acted, and above all entertaining action-adventure game that combines a relentless pace with calmer moments.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a beautiful, fun platformer that relies on the player's creativity when solving puzzles. It's a great addition to the Yoshi's Island series.

Phonopolis is a short, one-night treat, but its audiovisual presentation makes it an unforgettable - although not perfect - experience. Either way, it’s another standout title from Amanita Design and a proud addition to their portfolio of unique and playful adventure games.

Mixtape masterfully blends music, storytelling, and gameplay into an audiovisual work of art. If you love music as much as you love video games, you won’t want to miss this. It does have a few slow moments, but with a 4-hour campaign, there’s no time to get bored. You’ll be spellbound, you’ll cry, and you’ll reminisce.

Forza Horizon 6 is the best game in the series, and the Japanese setting suits it perfectly. It offers an amazing map, great racing, excellent audiovisuals, and a clever incorporation of Japanese culture. At the same time, however, it is a very uninnovative sequel that fails to address the series’ long-standing weaknesses, and many of its new features feel unfinished. It’s a great racing game, but one that deserves a bigger technical leap forward.

Directive 8020 proves that Supermassive Games is still capable of creating great games. The story is quite compelling, even if it isn't original. The choices are simply brilliant. They're interconnected and also influence the characters' personalities. The gameplay finally feels more like an adventure game than an interactive movie. It offers stealth, exploration, and puzzles. The developers could have gone a step further by refining some mechanics or improving the animations. Nevertheless, Directive 8020 stands out from the previous The Dark Pictures anthology, and that's a good thing. It's the first game from Supermassive Games in a long time that's worth your time.

Tides of Tomorrow set out to explore what a single-player narrative adventure game with asynchronous co-op might look like. The result is a story about global pollution that’s interesting enough, though by no means groundbreaking, featuring the unique and amazing Story-Link mechanic. Aside from that, the game itself doesn't offer any major surprises, yet it remains a brilliant experiment.

Kiln is a fantastic creative tool drowned in a shallow and technically lackluster multiplayer arena, devoid of both content and players. If you have a Game Pass subscription and a group of friends, crafting clay warriors will keep you entertained for a few evenings, but a full-price purchase on Steam is impossible to recommend in its current state.

Mouse P.I. For Hire is an audiovisual treasure. The musical backdrop, featuring a period-accurate orchestral jazz accompaniment spiced with the biting humor of the local mice and the main protagonist, creates a superb detective atmosphere. I will look back fondly on the 15 to 20 hours this game spent brightening my days before reaching the credits. If you enjoy references to other titles and genres, appreciate a good detective story, and can forgive an occasional slide into stereotype, you will get a genuine gem for your gaming collection.

Brno Transit is a nice short linear ride full of bizzare interactions and jokes. It's not as groundbreaking as Hrot or Schrot but it's overall a decent title.

A nostalgic journey into the world of the Moomins delights not only with its beautiful visuals, simplicity, engaging tasks, and an almost flawless technical execution. Even with minor shortcomings, such as a few slightly annoying characters or repetitive music, the game remains a meditative adventure that may not bring anything new but still leaves a pleasant impression.

Replaced is a fantastic trip back to the cyberpunk past, through a genre we don’t see much of anymore. It pays excellent homage to its predecessors, but when it tries to build on that with more gameplay, it falls a bit short. However, this shouldn’t stop you from playing it if you enjoy retrofuturism, cyberpunk, and powerful existential dilemmas.

Altered Echoes is a fun, spooky experience, but you’ll only play through it once and then have no reason to return to it. The game’s strongest point is the chance to experience the world of Little Nightmares firsthand and enjoy its atmosphere. You’ll find a few good chases and scary moments here. Beyond that, though, it’s just an average VR title that won’t surprise you with anything special.

Saros is undoubtedly an excellent action shooter that beautifully blends elements of bullet-hell and roguelite games. It’s a superbly crafted title that plays well, looks great, and sounds fantastic. Among its biggest shortcomings, however, is that it often feels a bit too “safe” when compared to the studio’s previous work, Returnal. And the game’s story, its central mystery, and even its characters fail to hold your attention as strongly. The 17-hour ride will keep you entertained from start to finish, but it’s still a shame that the developers didn’t play around with the new world a little more. Seeing the “tentacle-ridden ruins of an ancient civilization” a second time just doesn’t have the same impact.

An original but technically flawed attempt at a biblical adventure game. Despite well-designed cities and interesting puzzles, the game is let down by constant crashes, repetitive mini-games, an empty game world, and poorly executed AI voice acting. The result is a very short and broken oddity that you won’t miss.

PRAGMATA is both familiar and unique in the best possible way. Players will be captivated by the story, particularly thanks to the mysterious and fascinating character of Diana, but it’s the entertaining gameplay that will keep them hooked. The combat system is multitasking in practice, yet it works absolutely flawlessly. The uniqueness is also evident in the level design. The originally sterile environment is replaced by depictions of Times Square, a botanical garden replica, and even the Moon itself. PRAGMATA hones all the necessary elements to become your next favorite action-adventure game.

Life is Strange: Reunion focuses almost entirely on Max and Chloe. The dialogue between Max and Chloe is among the best the game has to offer. But everything else seems to be the result of rushed, sloppy work. Supporting characters are sidelined, the gameplay doesn't fully realize the time-rewind ability's potential, decisions feel lackluster, and the visuals don't enhance the game's appeal either. If you've been dreaming of a sequel in the form of fan fiction that gives the characters a second chance, then you'll likely enjoy Reunion. But for everyone else, this is the equivalent of a middle finger, ignoring the best parts of the first game.
